Svt112

Niconé, the versatile musician and likeable style-icon: unshaven and latently bleary-eyed, of course, but elegant and – thankfully – modest at the same time. Over the past years, Alexander Gerlach has become synonymous with a certain playful touch and light-hearted attitude that flows through his music and goes hand in hand with a laidback natural tenor. 2011 saw him release the hugely successful ‘Romantic Thrills’ album together with his good friend and constant partner in crime Sascha Breamer. Now, two years later, Niconé is presenting his first solo full-length, ‘Let Love Begin’, on Stil vor Talent. 

Over the course of eleven tracks Niconé showcases a versatile and distinct vision of contemporary house music that is produced beautifully but, more importantly, isn’t afraid to surprise with maturity and playfulness. The title-track ‘Let Love Begin’ opens the album in ample style: brooding and mysterious, Niconé teases us into a deep sonic landscape of enveloping bass, moody piano keys and epic synth pads. Malonda, who recently lent her voice to H.O.S.H.’s ‘Life is Music is Life’ EP, acts as a shining light to guide us through the atmospheric first seven minutes. ‘Hysterminia’ is equally subtle with its delayed chords and a classy deep house bass-line, until wild claps and a dominant piano melody eventually open fire. After the success of ‘Caje’ a new collaboration with Narra was an absolute must. She bedazzles us next on ‘Candelaria’. Here, the melancholic melodies of a Spanish guitar propel the track forward, while a bouncy beat seems made with the summer in mind. ‘You Are My Best Meowfucker’ then pushes us into the club as a techy rhythm and repeated vocal hook draw us to the floor. The track’s twist offers itself in the form of a string loop that lends an oriental edge. Spicy and addictive!

A lesser producer would have perhaps placed the following track, ‘Heroiné’, at the album’s end due to its romanticism, fed by soft synths, gentle progressions and hopeful piano chords. At the center of ‘Let Love Begin’, it acts as a beautiful break, as eight minutes of pure endorphin inducing bliss. The calm before the storm, which follows in the form of ‘Burnhain’. Here, classic house sounds such as driving high-hats and 90s rave stabs offer a nod to the past, while hitting the zeitgeist. ‘Querido’, which features Sascha Braemer and the newly discovered vocal talent Yvy, initially drops the energy before exploding with Mediterranean life, castanets included for good measure. Next, ‘Keep it Deep’ does what it promises as Niconé leads us through an arrangement of aquatic depth with powerful bass hits vibrating underneath dub chords and Benjamin Franklin’s emotional voice: hypnotic, magical and toxic. 

Niconé and Braemer hand us the antidote with ‘Wish U’, a track that already proved to be a standout on Stil vor Talent’s recent SVT100 compilation. Fun is of the essence, with a break so big it might just be inescapable. On the last two tracks Niconé moves away from the organic sounds that make up most of ‘Let Love Begin’ as ‘All Right’ and ‘Arr’ are distinctly techier. On the former, Melonda compliments the techno bass-line and old-school sample stabs beautifully, making for an unexpected highlight. On the latter – a collaboration with Gunjah – spherical, almost operatic synths float over a sleek bass bed, thus ending an epic journey on a dazzling high. Repeat and let love begin!

Release Title: 10 Years Stil vor Talent pres. by Oliver Koletzki
 Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT160 
Release: 01.04.2016

Over the course of the past ten years, Stil vor Talent has striven to support emerging young artists, to continuously broaden and redefine its sound, and, ultimately, to create lasting memories, both on and off the dance floor. The dance floor is the place where we gather to leave the worries of our everyday lives behind, and, for those few moments, form a bond, which transcends the final track of the night. A bond between each other; between the artist and the dancer; between ourselves and the music. On '10 Years Stil vor Talent' we celebrate this bond and say 'Thank you'.

Why do we tell stories?

We breathe, we eat, we sleep. We seek connection. These are our basic human needs.

But there is one more need we all share, and it centres on stories. All across the world, stories are being recounted everywhere, in every imaginable way, at any given time. For telling stories is at the very essence of what it is to be human.

The universe of stories can be broken down into seven basic plots which underlie all stories ever told. Recognising these patterns is the gateway to unravelling the universal symbolic language from which all storytelling is spun.

With The Quest, Chapter 24 returns with seven stories in sound collected from artists across the world to bring these themes to life.

NHAR (My Favorite Robot, Correspondant) is a consummate storyteller, and he opens the book with the glistening space tech of 'Navigli'. This is quickly followed up by newcomer Dan Grassler, whose superb 'Going Back' with US vocalist KnowKontrol is powerfully brooding and promises great things for the Munich-based producer.

The momentum picks up further with the standout 'Over My Head', a dark and delicious cut from two returning Chapter 24 artists, Alex Zed and Billie Fountain.

The label welcomes Teho and Machino for their inaugural releases on the imprint. Frenchman Teho (Herzblut, Parquet) serves up a double helping of delight with the skilfully crafted 'Back To The Forest' and the tense tech house of 'Drunken Leads'. Meanwhile, Machino (Desert Hearts), one of a new wave of Tijuana-based producers, showcases his unique blend of potent techno and ambient influences on 'Perdidos'.

Finally, Melodule and Van Did bring the tales to a close with 'Téou 12', a dreamy, abstract piece that showcases wonky basslines, drifting pads and engaging sound design.

They say that there are only seven basic plots but a thousand different stories. 

And so, as the storyteller utters that age old, magical phrase "Once upon a time...", let yourself be carried away…

Released on Friday 16th September.

Early support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Nicole Moudaber, Edu Imbernon, Robert Babicz, Guy J, DJ T, Betoko, Denis A, Above & Beyond, Nick Warren, D-Nox, Alexi Delano, ANNA, Cristoph, Silicone Soul, Darin Epsilon, Cid Inc, Chris Fortier, David Granha, Anthony Pappa, Third Son, Olivier Weiter, Soul Button, Marc Poppcke, Franz Alice Stern, Jonas Saalbach, Baikal, Gai Barone, Elias Tzikas, Lonya, Tim Engelhardt and many more!

Montreal artist @Kora-musique takes the next steps for recently launched New York label Earthly Delights, an imprint centred on spotlighting talents pushing the boundaries of electronic blends. The Canadian producer and DJ picks up the mantle from Yor Kultura, who provided the labels first release in a three tracker titled 'Odyssey'. Kora comes to the label after the well received 'Nuit D'Afrique' and 'Ovo' on Kindisch in November. He treats Earthly Delights to two original cuts in 'Fragile' and 'Vayu'. The pair have already seen much support  from the likes of Acid Pauli, Hernan Cattaneo, Oliver Schories, as well as heavy rotation on the playa. White Ocean founder Timujin supplies the remix action, reworking his own top notch version of 'Fragile'. Today, we're very excited to present to you in full premiere 'Fragile' in its original mix. This is an incredibly emotive cut, which fuses two distant worlds in one exquisite concoction. Soft pads, beautiful rhythms and a distinct eastern vibe mark the latest footprint in the journey of the young music maker. Release date - January 16th, 2017.

Now at his second Stil vor Talent effort, Sam Shure rolls out five exotism-infused tracks in his signature style, including one collaboration and one remix in cahoots with label veterans Niko Schwind and Oliver Koletzki.

Artist: Sam Shure @samshure
Title: Nandoo
Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT221
Release: 2018-06-08

1. Nandoo
2. Nandoo (Oliver Koletzki Remix)
3. Theben
4. Simsim
5. Shams w/ Niko Schwind feat. Temple Haze

Named after an exotic South American bird, Nandoo kicks off with a subtle bassline and gradually blossoms into a string-heavy breezy cut, as playful as it is dynamic.

Label chief Oliver Koletzki amps up the exotic appeal, adding tribal vocals and eccentric yet organic-sounding elements, leading up to a tension-filled, dance-frenzy inducing break.
With its slightly more sober musical range, Theben acts as a grounding agent, offering the perfect foundation for exploring. Piano loops, synth leads and oriental vocal elongations all make an appearance and amalgamate in an eclectic and lively piece.

Simsim serves up an evenly warm and airy atmosphere, with the artist smoothly intertwining layers of strings with engaging synth leads.
